I may be incorrect...but the Russians didn’t “hack” the DNC. The passcodes were given by stupid spam emails that the DNC responded to. Big difference.Hardly anyone gets "hacked." Look up phishing. People set up fake websites that look identical to other sites. Typically you'll get an email to log into your account and the email includes a link to the their fake site. The moment you log in on the fake a third party has your log in credentials for the genuine site.

The emails were stolen by agents of the Russian government and offered to the Trump campaign. Then the stolen emails were edited and released publicly. The semantics are irrelevant. Any American should be outraged that a campaign would conspire with an enemy of the United States to subvert a US election. If the Democrats had done this the whole administration would be out by now.I think everyone is in agreement that we do not want other countries meddling in our election. I understand that your bias makes this hard to understand but we have yet to see any evidence that Trump and the Republicans did collude with Russia. We know Russia paid $100k to run facebook ads and illegally obtained DNC emails. Wikileaks offered those emails to the Trump campaign on September 14th AFTER the emails were already in the public sphere. CNN released a correction confirming the September 14th date.
Do you honestly believe $100k in facebook ads and a few DNC emails had any measurable impact on the election?
